Join artist Sam Ainsley for an exclusive personal tour of her highly anticipated exhibition, "Wednesday is Cobalt blue, Friday is Cadmium red," taking place at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow. This exhibition marks a significant moment in Ainsley's career, as it is her first major show in the city in over 30 years. The exhibition showcases Ainsley's profound artistic journey, drawing inspiration from her 1987 solo exhibition, "Why I Choose Red," at the Third Eye Centre (now Centre for Contemporary Art, CCA). Ainsley's artwork delves into the depths of the human body, particularly the female form, in an abstracted yet captivating manner. Through vibrant colors and emotive brushstrokes, her paintings encapsulate memories, emotions, and moments of pure joy. Furthermore, Ainsley's work is not only an exploration of the micro aspects of the human body but also a reflection of the social and political changes that impact us all on a global scale. Following the tour, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session with Ainsley in the Studio, providing a unique insight into her artistic process and inspirations. This event, titled "Sam Ainsley: artist tour of exhibition," is scheduled to take place on December 9, 2023, and admission is free. Don't miss this chance to immerse yourself in Ainsley's captivating artistic world and witness the culmination of her nearly 50 years of art practice.
